Hi Dave.
I spotted this and thought it did look very "WW2-ish" - but the profile will give it away as a post-war aircraft. It's a tandem two-seat "advanced" trainer. First flight was in 1951 and this particular version is armed with two 7.7 mm mgs and can carry four10kg practice bombs.
Not British, but the engine is.
Not Italian, but it is European....
I still haven't been able to move in to my place, so my computers and books are still in storage - if anyone would like to take my place (Terry, Jim?), please, go right ahead!
